Community Awards

The Community Awards tool gives you a way to have awards that are unique to your community. You can design and name the Awards however you want and your community members can give them to each other.

A portion of the proceeds for Community Awards will be deposited to the community’s coin balance. Mods can use coins from that balance to reward members with special Mod-only Awards. The Coin balance is shown only to moderators.

Creating Awards

Only Mods with full permissions can create Community Awards.

In your mod tools, scroll down to "Awards" in the "Other" section to open the tool. Once open, you will see a number of options for coin cost and an option for Moderator-only Awards. Note: You can currently only create 1 award for each coin cost option, but there will be updates to this option in the future for 500 and 1000 coin awards.

In the create flow, you can name your award, update the coin cost of the award, define if it is available for everyone to give or if it is only for moderators, and upload the image. Your award image should have equal width and length and be at least 512 x 512 px.

Once you have created an award, you can view the award, cost, and type (All or Mod-only) of award in the Awards tool. You will also have the ability to delete the award.

Mod-Only Awards

Mod-only awards are a special type of Award that only mods can give to users in their communities. This type of Community Award can be especially useful as a prize for mod-run contests.

To create a mod-only award, follow the award creation instructions above and toggle the "Exclusive for Mods" button.

Mod-only awards are purchased with coins in your community coin pool. A portion of proceeds from community award purchases fill the community coin pool. The total coin cost of mod exclusive awards correspond with the cost of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months of Premium Reddit membership.

Granting a Mod-Only Award

Granting a Mod-only award is similar to granting any other award, including silver, gold, and platinum. You first click "give award" below a post or comment.

If you have added Mod-only awards, you'll see those new options in the awarding flow. The balance of your community's coin pool will be displayed at the bottom of the pop-up when you select a mod award.
